Almost everybody (except Ron Wyden and a smattering of Republican Senators) in Washington thought the filibuster by Rand Paul was a Don Quixote gesture, but he actually garnered quite a big score when he got a direct reply from Eric Holder of the DOJ. The note was short and to the point.
"It has come to my attention that you have now asked an additional
question: 'Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized
drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on American soil?'"
Holder wrote Paul.
"The answer to that question is no."
Paul declared he was satisfied with Holder's note, adding on CNN "it took a root canal to get it"
